The Sharp Top Trail is a popular trail located near Bedford, which can be quite busy with college students from the surrounding universities. The trail is steep and can be quite tiring, with lots of rock stairs and some serious elevation change. After a mile of hiking, there is a beautiful overlook, and after another half a mile, hikers will find an old stone cabin at the Sharp Top, which can be used as a shelter in rain or thunderstorms. The trail features lots of boulders for climbing and lots of beautiful views for those who bring a camera. Bears have been spotted on this trail, so hikers should keep their eyes peeled and know basic wildlife safety.
